The cosmic microwave background radiation
Reviews of Modern Physics, 1979Radio Astronomy has added greatly to our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the universe. The cosmic microwave background radiation, considered a relic of the explosion at the beginning of the universe some 18 billion years ago, is one of the most powerful aids in determining these features of the universe. This paper is about the discovery

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the third cornerstone of the Standard Model of cosmology, after Hubble’s Law and the primordial abundance of light elements. As the Universe expanded, at a certain point photons in the primordial plasma decoupled from protons and electrons and started freely propagating through the Universe.

The Cosmic Microwave Background
Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2009With the successful launch of the European Space Agency's Planck satellite earlier this year the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is once again the centre of attention for cosmologists around the globe. Since its accidental discovery in 1964 by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, this relic of the Big Bang has been subjected to intense scrutiny by ...

The standard hot big bang model predicts that today the universe has a temperature of a few Kelvin [1]. In 1964, a background signal was discovered and found consistent with a black-body spectrum at the temperature of about 3 K [2], which was soon recognized as radiation from the primordial universe [3].

This chapter describes the origin and characteristics of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, the source of most of the millimeter wave photons in the universe. The measurements from the COBE satellite of the temperature and morphology of the CMB on large angular scales are summarized.

Cosmic microwave background overview
Classical and Quantum Gravity, 1998Summary: The goal of cosmic microwave background (CMB) and large scale structure (LSS) research is to determine the cosmological parameters that define how structure arose in the universe. These include: Early universe parameters associated with fluctuation generation, such as their statistics, the amplitude and shape of primordial power spectra, and ...

Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy
2020CMB anisotropy observations starting from observations of super-horizon anisotropy by COBE with precision observations by COBE, WMAP, Planck and Earth based telescopes like DASI, SPT, Bicep/KECK give precise measurements of the composition of the universe like dark matter, dark energy, neutrino masses and primordial gravitational waves.

The Cosmic Microwave Background
This volume tells the untold story of how observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation were interpreted in the decades following its serendipitous discovery, before the Hot Big Bang model became the accepted orthodoxy. The authors guide the reader through this history, including the many false trails and blind alleys that occurred along ...Slobodan Perovic, Milan M. Cirkovic
